SteemConnect 3, beta release looking for testers

Today I'm excited to announce the beta release of SteemConnect 3. This new version is available as website but also desktop apps for Windows, macOS, Linux and as Chrome extension.

You can test the v3 on: https://beta.steemconnect.com . It will be available on this subdomain for beta testers for about one month before going live on the main domain and replace the v2. Here is some overview of the main changes:

Keychain account storage

This new version act as a keychain, when you import an account if you check the field “Keep the account on this computer” you will be prompted to set a custom password and your account keys will be encrypted with this password and stored on your computer. The password will be used to unlock your account for usage. If you uncheck the field, your key will be used for the session and discarded when you close the app or after 20mn.

Steem-URI support

The new app support Steem-URI the standard protocol URI for Steem. Steem-URI link can be generated and used to request someone to sign a transaction. Steem-URI offer a large flexibility to generate signing link and facilitate multisig. Here is a simple example to generate a Steem link for a vote operation:

const steemuri = require('steem-uri');

const link = steemuri.encodeOp(['vote', { voter: '__signer', author: 'fabien', permlink: 'test', weight: 10000 }]);
// steem://sign/op/WyJ2b3RlIix7InZvdGVyIjoiX19zaWduZXIiLCJhdXRob3IiOiJmYWJpZW4iLCJwZXJtbGluayI6InRlc3QiLCJ3ZWlnaHQiOjEwMDAwfV0.

If you open the steem:// link it will trigger SteemConnect desktop app. You can open it on your browser if you replace "steem://" with "https://beta.steemconnect.com/" like this: https://beta.steemconnect.com/sign/op/WyJ2b3RlIix7InZvdGVyIjoiX19zaWduZXIiLCJhdXRob3IiOiJmYWJpZW4iLCJwZXJtbGluayI6InRlc3QiLCJ3ZWlnaHQiOjEwMDAwfV0.
